Fitbit Charge HR sizing help
I am buying the new Fitbit Charge HR and have a sizing question. I feel like I'm borderline between the small and large - and their handy printout puts me exactly on the line. I KNOW the website says to size up, but I am the FATTEST I have ever been, with very recent weight gain. I had a baby a few months ago and have fat…

I lost my fibit one and I am sad. :(
Damn thing was amazing but it's 100 bucks. I got home, changed, and realized it was nowhere. Trying to retrace my day had no success. This was over a week ago. Should I buy another? Should I buy a new one? Suffer my loss? Boo!

Work birthday - I'm a jerk for not eating pizza and cake
I politely say no thank you. Then after more why why why I have to explain (AGAIN) that I can't eat dairy. Then whoever orders stuff says they feel bad they would have ordered me some without cheese. I say thank you, but I'm not a pizza eater much anyway. No really it's okay. Someone blurts out that I always eat HEALTHY -…

Dairy free low-cal protein?
I'm having a hard time increasing my protein. I cannot eat any dairy (not just lactose free). Should I just be snacking on lean meats or what? I meet my carb goals each day and don't want to go too far over. Am I doomed to nosh on hard-boiled eggs, canned tuna, and slices of turkey? Any ideas? :happy:

Friends and Coworkers - How do you deal?
Hey everyone, I'm curious! When people notice you eating healthy and ask if you're "on a diet or something" do you just shrug or answer yes? How much do you let people in on your plans/successes/failures? How much does your skin crawl when someone asks if you're trying to lose weight loudly in front of lots of people? How…

Non-Dairy Milk - What's your fav?
I've cut dairy (I'm extremely lactose intolerant) and for the most part I don't miss it so I don't use substitutes. I've been doing this half a year and feel great but I do miss cereal. I want to find some milk! :drinker: Do you prefer rice milk, soy milk, or almond milk? Which brands are best?

HELP! I keep pulling muscles!
In the last three weeks I keep pulling/straining the muscles in my legs. Each time it takes about five days to finally feel okay again. The first time, I sprinted in softball and pulled my quads - one worse than the other. The next week I did a gentle warm-up jog (I am a runner) and then stretched carefully. I cracked off…

Anyone else out there dairy free?
I am either ridiculously lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy. I've toyed with yogurts, hard cheeses, lactose free stuff forever and have finally gone completely dairy free. I have never felt better!! I've recently started drinking almond milk. YUM! :drinker: Sometimes its really hard. Seeing all the ice cream places…

I will make weight loss and fitness a priority again. I will run, do a video, or simply walk EVERY DAY. I will limit myself to less than 1 soda a week IF ANY. I will limit my alcohol, junk food, and deserts to what fits into my daily eating plan. I will eat all 24 grams of fiber every day. I will go outside and get some…

So the last three times I've tried to work out I went from fine to overheated and nearly puking in about five minutes!! I worked out regularly in the past- except its been light to nothing over the winter because I had bronchitis (I have asthma). I've been healthy for weeks so I've started to try and work out again.

My silly dog
I have a great dog. He really wants me to reach my goals. He wants to go for walk all the time and he is always nearby when I am eating to insist that I give my food to him instead of eating it myself. Good Boy! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Oh Charlie. He really really loves oranges. Anyone else got a great pup out there?

Marie Claire or Glamour?
I want to get a magazine, and subcriptions are cheap on amazon right now. Besides the obvious health magazines, what do you recommend? I am 25 and I feel like I've outgrown Cosmopolitan (no offense meant to anyone I read it for years), but I don't feel quite at Redbook yet because there's a lot more marriage and kids stuff…

No sweet tooth - protein powder
Does anyone know of any unsweetened or moderately sweetened protein powders? I can't have fake sugars (they upset my tummy and I just don't like them) and besides they just taste too sweet! The ones with sugar are also crazy sweet and major high in calories. Does anyone know of any unsweetened ones? I'll add some fruit or…

Am I that weird?
Post after post I see people really happy when people notice their success. I've lost about 24 lbs over the last year or so and I HATE people commenting on it!! I wouldn't mind compliments like "You look really good lately," or someone telling me in private but that's never the case. People always comment on "WOW HOW MUCH…

Guys and Protein Question

My boyfriend is about 150 lbs and 5'7" and I know he's trying to gain muscle - but he eats like 150 grams of protein or more each day!! Will this hurt him? He reads muscle and fitness and has all the expensive powders so its not as…

Diving back in...
Okay guys, I've been gone it seems like forever! Its probably really only been about three or four months but that feels like forever. I don't think I've really gained any weight which is FANTASTIC but I haven't lost any either. These are what stopped me: 1. I got really stressed out because my landlord was a jerk and I…

women's problem
So as my body shapes up I'm really happy about what I see... except for one thing. I feel like my chest has for so long been the one thing that helped me feel good "in my own skin" if you will, but now when I'm all birthday suit its the worst thing about me. Its not the fact that I've lost mass there as I have in so many…

What order do you exercise in?
I know a lot of people rotate days between cardio and strength, but I've got to do certain strength exercises every day for physical therapy. So here's my question: If I'm doing 30 min of cardio and 30 min of strength - which should I do first? Is there a logical order to this that I'm just not catching? And I do these at…

whiplash...
I got rear-ended tonight. My neck hurts. Yes I filed a police report and yes I am planning on going into my doc tomorrow. Any idea what to do in the mean-time? I took advil.
